Q. & A. with Tera
Why did you start breeding?
I have always bred off and on for about 20 years. i have done a few different breeds but when I got my Yorkie, everyone wanted one like her so I started breeding. I only breed once a year and after their 3rd to 4th litter they are fixed, or if the vet recommends it.
What makes your program special?
We Embark all our breeding dogs, all our babies live in our house with us and get a lot of love. They are OFA tested, and we have a trainer lined up to work with you to get your puppy trained wether you want obedience or a working dog for hunting.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
